Work Text
Frank has been working extremely long hours at the hospital and Gerard has been working long hours at his office as well so there isn't much for Frank to complain about. They rarely see each other even on good days but it is one hundred percent fine with Frank.Frank's been doing overnights for weeks because of how swamped they've been and he's only been getting about four or five hours a night if he's lucky. They're usually busy but its been worse since the hurricane that hit, while it didn't hit them directly they've still been effected by flooding and people are still stupid.He and Gerard haven't had sex in a good three weeks and for the most part he can totally deal with that, he's been a little wound up but he doesn't think its as bad as others seem to think. Yes, he has snapped at several of his coworkers throughout the day but his long stressful hours on top of not seeing Gerard work together to make his life harder.Gerard texts Frank as much as he can while he works but they both have to work and if Frank isn't working he's asleep. After sleeping at the hospital for five days because he's working double shifts everyday he's told to go home because he needs to go eat something and hydrate himself and he's done enough.He points out that realistically he's never actually done his work because of the never ending stream of patients and while thats true he still needs to go home and rest for an entire eight hours so he'll leave his coworkers alone. Frank refuses to leave so Shannon calls Gerard to come pick him up so he doesn't have a choice, she informs him that he needs to take care of him before he's allowed to come back to work.*Frank wakes up approximately fourteen hours later with Gerard wrapped around him and he has to extract himself from his grip so he can go take a real shower because he hasn't had one in days. He spends a long time in the shower just basking because they have shit tons of hot water.Gerard knocks on the door a little aggressively multiple times and tells him that he needs to hurry because he needs to take a shower before work and if he doesn't hurry up he's going to drag his naked ass out. Frank laughs at the way Gerard says it but he knows for a fact that he wont hesitate to do it and grabs his towel so he can get out.Frank dries himself off as he leaves the bathroom and rummages around in his dresser for something comfortable to wear before heading out into the living room to lay on the couch for the rest of eternity. Gerard comes out of the bedroom about twenty minutes afterwards and he's clean and that makes Frank happy, Gerard tells him that he needs to eat and heads into the kitchen.Frank sits down at the table and watches as Gerard makes a breakfast that consists of the messiest eggs he and toast that have ever been made ever. Gerard's only half paying attention to what he's doing though because he's trying to read something on his phone at the same time and he can tel its only half working.Gerard sits Franks plate in front of him and sits across the table scrolling through his phone while he picks at his food, Frank has his plate cleared almost immediately after he places it in front of him because he's starving. He's bored as he watches Gerard though and he knows that he doesn't have to leave for at least an hour if not a little more so he's pretty sure that there's enough time for them to jerk each other off and thats something and good enough for Frank.Frank starts by running his foot up Gerard's leg and watching what happens but Gerard ignores him in favor for his phone and Frank definitely takes that as a challenge. Gerard finally finishes eating and Frank quickly stands up so he can take both of their plates to the sink and he doesn't bother washing them.Frank walks up behind Gerard and places his hands on his shoulders to give him a bit of a massage to see if he can get things going. Gerard completely ignores him and thats when Frank snatches his phone out of his hand, Gerard starts bitching about work and important shit and Frank throws a leg out his lap sitting down.Gerard glares at him "Frank seriously, i have work to do" he says and that just makes Frank roll his eyes "it can wait like ten minutes i promise" he tells Gerard. Gerard takes his phone out of Frank hand "Frank I'm not fucking around here, its important, i have people i need to respond to or there are going to be problems" Gerard doesn't make Frank move but he goes back to looking at his phone.Franks disappointed that taking his phone doesn't make his intentions clear but that doesn't mean he's going to give up, he rolls his hips experimentally to see what happens but it doesn't get a response from him. He tries again but Gerard doesn't seem to be paying him any mind like he doesn't even realize that he's there, there doesn't seem to be anything going on in his pants either which makes Frank feel like shit.Franks not normally insecure but he also hasn't actually ever had to deal with Gerard not wanting to fuck constantly so its a new experience for him. Frank tries to ignore that stupid feeling because logically he knows that there's no reason for him to be insecure but he never really knows.Frank leans forward to give Gerard a kiss but Gerard pushes him back a little and gives him a look "Frank i'm not joking, I just told you how important this is" he sits his phone down and lifts Frank off of his lap, he picks his phone up and grabs his coffee heading for the door "I gotta go, I'll see you later".Frank stands there for a few minutes staring into the kitchen trying to figure out what just happened. Gerard's obviously upset but Franks not sure at what exactly, he's worried that he's just upset Gerard and he doesn't like not knowing if it was him.Frank walks into the bathroom and stares at himself in the mirror trying to figure out if it is because of him, he's never had a problem getting Gerard to have sex with him. It could be anywhere from the bags under his eyes to the weight he's lost, it could be that Gerard just doesn't feel like it or he's bored of him.He's not entirely sure what to think about the entire situation, usually Gerard's erect the second he touches him and thats enough for things to get going. It's confusing and he's not sure why he's so effected by it, he's upset about it but he's also angry and he doesn't know if he's angry at Gerard or himself.Franks not sure why he didn't get any kind of reaction out of Gerard because there's always a ninety percent chance that Gerard will react to him regardless of what way it is. He checks to see if theres a shift open and decides that he's going to go to work because he needs to do something other than think about what he knows he's going to have to deal with later.If he can just distract himself for a few hours before he over thinks everything and overreacts then maybe he can calm everything down before doing something that he will regret. The more he thinks about what happened the more he wants to go confront Gerard while he's busy and he knows thats not fair.Shannon's on shift when he gets there and she really gives him an earful about picking up another shift when he's already had so many but he just needs to be at work for a little while and it's not a long shift. He has to promise her and Jeremy that he's not going to snap at anyone while he's there because he doesn't need to take his frustration out on other people.When he finally gets his one hour lunch he leaves and walks to the closest taco bell to get something to eat and while he's promised himself that he'd stop eating there he thinks he deserves it after the morning he's had. It's the first time Frank's had take out in four months anyway so one day isn't going to kill him and he needs to gain some weight anyway.On his walk back to the hospital he pulls out a cigarette because he hasn't had one in a few days and he knows that's contributed to his shitty attitude. He has to stop for a second when the nicotine high hits him but after a minute he's good to go and by the time he gets back to the hospital he's feeling better.Gerard's constantly harassing him about quitting because of his health and he asks him how he can tell other people to quit when he himself smokes. Frank's usual response is always that it's first of all his career and second of all Gerard needs to get off his back.He knows that he needs to quit he just isn't ready for that kind of commitment with all of the stress he's been under recently and especially after what transgressed this morning. Gerard's the one who's caused him the stress of the day to begin with so he may also be doing it a little out of spite but mostly out of stress.Gerard could have joined Frank in the shower and they could have had sex but instead he just wanted to get ready for work. Frank pisses himself off again before he goes back to work which is usual for him because he doesn't know how to just let things go.Gerard and his stupid art shit that Frank knows deep down is not more important than him but today he's just feeling like it's more important than him. He thought that being at work would give him the distraction he needed but he's wrong and it's not the first time he's been wrong.Frank only snaps at three different people, one of them being Shannon, before his shift ends and while he doesn't really want to go home he isn't really any use at work because of the mood he's in and he broke his promise so he feels worse. He expects Gerard to be home when he gets there ready to apologize for writing him off this morning but he isn't and when he checks to see if Gerard texted him to let him know that he'd be home late he sees that that's too much to ask for.Frank texts Gerard to ask him if he should make dinner for both of them or just eat whatever he wants and then waits an hour for him to respond but he doesn't so he just orders Chinese because he's fucking starving and pissed. While he is angry at Gerard he still orders enough for him when he decides to finally show back up and definitely ignores the voice in the back of his head saying "if he comes home" because Gerard is absolutely going to come home. Frank grabs a book from his room and sits in the living room trying to focus on it but he's busy trying to over think everything and checking his phone non stop to check if Gerard has texted him yet. He eat his food and calls him to let him know that there is food and that he's waiting for him to come home but he doesn't answer so he has to leave it in a voicemail.Franks watching tv and he's not sure what time he falls asleep but he wakes up at almost noon and checks his phone to see if Gerard's responded, it pisses him off when he doesn't have any and its clear that Gerard isn't home so he goes out on the balcony for a cigarette. He eats Gerard's portion of the food out of spite before calling him three more times and has to resist the urge to leave a voicemail each time, he only leaves one telling him that he's going out and what time he'll be home by. Frank first stop is the dog park so he can see everyone out with their dogs, he knows its a little weird but he himself cant get a dog because neither of them have time to take care of a dog. Between his long ass shifts at the hospital and Gerard's need to work the worst hours on the planet the closest thing he's gotten to owning a dog is his mom. He sticks around for a while before deciding that he's going to head over to his moms house so he orders an uber and goes, when his mother opens the door she gives him a look and he knows the look. "Thanks mom" he says and she jus rolls her eyes and pulls him into a hug "is Gerard starving you, come in here we need to get some meat on those bones".She drags him over to the table and forces him to sit down and within a few minutes he's got a coffee cup in his hand "me and Gerard haven't really seen each other recently and he's ignored me all day yesterday and today". She shakes her head "well, you two need to talk it out obviously" Frank snorts because he already knows that "I would if he would have bothered coming home last night or today, he hasn't answered any of my calls or texts".She sits a plate down in front of him and he shovels it into his mouth like he hasn't eaten in a month because he's hungry and angry about Gerard not coming home. They head out back to have a cigarette and he plays with her dogs for a while before informing her that he needs to head home, and if he doesn't mention that he thinks Gerard might be cheating on him thats because its stupid.Franks not even sure that Gerard is capable of cheating on him because he's so awkward and they've been dating for almost five years and he doesn't see Gerard fucking that up. On the other hand he's moved on to being paranoid and Gerard was not interested in his advances and thats made him a bit insecure. Frank one hundred percent trusts Gerard and he may be going to his studio but its not weird or anything because he's bringing him food. He does not think that he's cheating on him and id not going for that reason just to bring him something to eat and see him since he hasn't come home and if the secondary reason he's going is to see what Gerard's doing exactly well thats his business and he doesn't have to justify himself to anyone. Frank manages to make it into the building just fine because its not the first time he's been here and most of the people know him but there's a guy who's standing outside the door wearing a security uniform and he's never seen him before. The man refuses to let him in the room and that just pisses Frank off "I'm his boyfriend, what do you mean i cant go in?" he raises his voice a little. "I cant just let anyone in and just because you tell me that you know him doesn't mean that you do" Frank stands there for a few minutes just watching the man. He doesn't move from the spot until he Frank tries to reach the door then the man pushes him back "ill call the police" he says. This guy is lucky that Frank stopped fighting people when he went to college because otherwise he'd be catching his fucking hands and nothing would be able to stop him "can you go ask him, he'll tell you that I'm his boyfriend" he does not move from the spot. Frank has to hold himself back because he's dealt with things that piss him off more before and he doesn't need to cause a scene in the middle of Gerard's work place even though he'd really like to do just that. Frank pulls his phone out and calls Gerard and he knows that Gerard can hear it because he can see him from where he's standing and just ignoring it like it couldn't be an important phone call. He calls again because maybe if he calls more than once than Gerard will pick up his phone and see that he's calling and actually answer it for once, he does pick up his phone to look at it but he just turns his phone off and stuffs it in his pocket.Frank turns around and heads out because if he stays any longer that guy may have to call the police so Frank doesn't beat Gerard to death. Frank clearly knows where he stands as of right now compared to Gerard's work, he's clearly not as important and he could have literally just answered the phone to talk to him for a second but he didn't. Frank heads home and texts Shannon to come pick him up because he definitely needs a drink after what he's just had to deal with and tells her that he'll explain when they get to the bar. He changes as quickly as he can and heads outside to wait for her to pull up, when she shows up he hops in the car "come on i need to get fucked up tonight so i can feel better and get over himself". "He's probably not even going to come home tonight" he says after he's had his third shot "he probably hates me or something" Shannon pats his back "no sweetie, he's just got work and he's busy but he'll come home". Frank shakes his head throwing back another shot "no, he's not and even if he does its not going to matter because he doesn't want to fuck me for whatever fucking reason he has and its been like a month and I'm stressed out and everyone knows".Frank groans "I couldn't even get a reaction out of him yesterday and it was literally grinding on his dick, he hates me or resents me or whatever the fuck" Shannon's not sure what to do to make him feel better but she knows that he's overreacting. After his sixth shot in the hour and a half she tells the bartender that he's on water because he really doesn't need to do that to himself and he'll probably thank him in the morning for it. Shannon drivers him back home and helps him get into his apartment where she deposits him in his bed to sleep it off and hopes that he feels better in the morning. *Franks not sure what time it is when he wakes up but he doesn't feel as bad as he thought he should but he kind of does regret going out the night before he has another shift because he really doesn't want to go.After another short shift that he thanks whoever for he's sitting out on their balcony with a cigarette in one hand and his phone in the other hand, he hears the door slide open and he knows that its Gerard but he kind of hopes that its a murderer here to put him out of his misery. Gerard doesn't say anything to him and Frank doesn't acknowledge his existence for a few minutes in hope that Gerard will apologize or something "i made dinner" he says when its clear that Gerard isn't going to talk first. Gerard disappears inside for a few minutes and then comes back out with a plate and sits down next to Frank to start eating "hey" he says. Frank looks up from his phone for a second but then just goes back to texting Shannon to give her an update about whats happening including that he isn't acknowledging that Frank is pissed apparently. No apologies for ignoring his phone calls and texts no apologies for not coming home and Franks still pissed that that fucker wouldn't let him in to see Gerard. "You know" Frank starts and sits his phone down but then changes his mind and stares forward "am i ugly?" he asks.Gerard doesn't say anything so Frank looks over at him "what?" Gerard asks and he looks confused while Frank feels like its a pretty straight forward question that he could easily answer. Frank sighs and clears his throat "am i ugly?" he asks again but slower so Gerard can understand because apparently he doesn't "where is this coming from?" Gerard asks instead of answering the question.Frank snorts and stands up pulling out another cigarette "well first of all we haven't had sex in a month, while know that we haven't really seen each other the other morning i was trying to initiate it and you didn't respond in anyway so i was wondering if you just didn't find me attractive anymore". Gerard stares at him for a minute and opens his mouth to say something just to close it again and he looks like he's trying to figure out what Frank is talking about, Frank raises an eyebrow and brings his cigarette up to his mouth waiting for Gerard.It seems to come to Gerard "baby" Frank sighs and rolls his eyes so hard he's sure he's going to do some sort of damage to them "dont baby me" he says. Gerard stands up and backs Frank up against the railing ignoring when Frank blows smoke right in his face "ignoring my calls and texts, not coming home? Am i not important enough to be told whether you're alive or not?".Frank got an attitude and there's no way Gerard is going to weasel his way out of this and if he thinks he can then he has lost his mind. Gerard looks like he's scolded by his mother which Franks not sure how he feels about that and when Frank blows smoke in his face again he snatches the cigarette out of Franks hand and throws it over the railing. "I have an ashtray for that and its considered littering" Frank says as he reaches into his pocket to pull another cigarette out and light up. He thinks about doing it again but he knows that its disrespectful and gross to blow smoke in someones face so he doesn't but continues to glare at Gerard.Gerard puts his hands on Franks shoulders and squeezes a little "listen, I'm sorry, i've been super bust lately and you haven't been home either so I didn't even think about it, I've gotten into a routine". Franks eyebrow twitches and he really wants to yeet something over the railing preferably Gerard at the moment "I came to the studio and whoever that fuckhead that was standing outside of your door is refused to let me inside, tried to call you but you just turned your phone off" Frank takes a drag off his cigarette and waits for a response. Gerard sighs and runs his hand up and down Franks left arm looking off to the side "Okay, I'm sorry and there's no excuse for why i haven't gotten ahold of you to let you know what I've been doing or when I'm coming home. Also, I'm going to get rid of him because there is absolutely no reason why he didn't let you in, he knows who you are, he knows what you look like".Frank not and sighs "Okay listen, I'm going to be completely honest with you" he says as he throws his cigarette over his shoulder, Frank shoves his hands through Gerard's hair gripping his head and yanks him down into a kiss. He pushes his tongue in Gerard mouth and Gerard makes a surprised sound before sliding his hands down Franks side and to his ass. Gerard pulls Frank against him and moans and Frank pulls back panting "okay I was just making sure" he says and reaches down to squeeze him through his pants. Gerard groans and squeezes his eyes shut for a second and then opens them back up "what's this about?' he asks while trying to ignore Franks hand grabbing his dick. Frank takes a deep breath and lets go "the other day i was literally grinding on you and you just didn't respond or react in any way i was wanted to make sure it wasn't me" he explains. Gerard furrows his eyebrows "oh, oh god, no, you're beautiful" he says pulling Frank back into a kiss, he shoves his thigh between Frank's legs pushing him back against the railing. Frank moans into his mouth and grabs the railing because he kind of feels like he's going to fall backwards "oh fuck" Frank says and leans his head back a little "we should take this inside before you push me off the balcony" he says. Gerard lets out a laugh and pulls Frank sliding the door open, he slams the door shut a little harder than he intends to and pushes Frank up against it. Frank grips the back of Gerard's head as he leans down to bite and suck at his neck, Frank moans and pulls his hair harder. Frank pushes Gerard off of him a little and yanks his shirt off and stares at Gerard, it takes him a second but he also pulls his shirt off throwing it somewhere behind them. After Gerard throws his shirt Frank starts working on his pants to get things moving faster and because he's ready to do it right now. Gerard leans down a little so he can grab Franks thighs and pull him up, he wraps his legs around Gerard and Gerard walks him over to the dining room table sitting him down on it. Frank leans back on the table and spreads his legs so Gerard can run his hands up and down the inside of his thighs and lean in to sucks on the side of his neck. Gerard pulls back after a few minutes and Frank whines "no, what are you doing?' he asks and Gerard pats his head "give me a second" he goes over to the sink and reaches down into the cabinets pulling out what appears to be a bottle of lube and then walks back up to Frank.Frank smiles and shakes his head but doesn't say anything, he scoots back on the table as Gerard gets down on his knees in front of him and he pulls his legs up on the table. Gerard opens the bottle and squeezes some out on his fingers, he starts prodding Franks hole and bites at his left thigh.Frank moans and slides a little further down the table as Gerard pushes a finger in him "fuck you're so tight" Gerard whispers mostly to himself but Frank can still hear him. Gerard slides his finger in and out slowly and Frank groans "come on" he says and Gerard pulls his finger out sliding in two.Gerard starts scissoring his fingers and Frank pushes down on his fingers "yes" he whispers and Gerard starts moving his fingers around and when he hits his prostate Frank lifts his hips off the table. Gerard stand sup and pushes Franks hips back down and then pushes another finger in, Frank moans and pushes himself forward grabbing Gerard so he can pull him into a kiss.Frank wraps his legs around Gerard and pulls him forward effectively trapping Gerard's arm where it is and he knows its going to make it harder for him to prepare him but he doesn't care. "I really need you to fuck me now or i might have to kill you" Frank says and Gerard nods but Frank doesn't let go right away so he cant move from the spot.Frank sighs and lets his legs fall so Gerard can pull his fingers out and he reaches on the floor so he can grab the bottle of lube. Gerard unzips his pants and pulls them down far enough to get his cock out and then opens the bottle squeezing some out onto his hand, he wraps his hand around his cock and gives it a few tugs before grabbing Franks hip and using his other hand so he can line up and push in.They both moan as he pushes in and Gerard doesn't stop until he's bottomed out and Frank sighs "oh fuck yeah" he says and he wraps his legs around Gerards waist pulling him in closer. Frank leans back on his elbows and gasps when Gerard slams into him "fuck me" he says and Gerard laughs "yeah that's kind of the plan" Frank snorts.Gerard grips Franks hips harder and starts a fast rhythm fucking into him in short thrusts, he uses one hand to hike up Franks right leg higher and leans forward. Frank lays flat on the table and throws one of his arms over his face "if you don't hurry up i swear" he says.Gerard starts fucking into him harder and with the change of position he's managing to hit Franks prostate with every thrust "oh god" Frank says and struggles to push himself back up. Gerard helps him and then lets go of his hip to pull him forward and kiss him, Frank moans into his mouth and wraps one of his arms around Gerard neck. On one particularly hard thrust Frank drags his nails across Gerard's shoulders and pulls him as close as he can, it takes a second but he realizes that the table legs are scraping against the floor. "Someone's going to call the cops" Gerard pants into his ear, Frank just groans and reaches down to wrap one hand around his cock while he pushes his other hand through Gerard's hair digging his nails into his scalp.Franks orgasm hits him by surprise when Gerard leans bites down on his neck and he squeezes around Gerard and moans in his ear. Frank loosens his grip on Gerard's hair and squeezes his legs harder "come on Gerard, come in me" he says and it only takes a few more thrusts and then he loses it.Gerard squeezes Frank against him as he fills him up panting in Franks ear, Frank runs his hand through Gerard's hair slowly grinning at him "there we go" he whispers. Gerard has to pry Franks legs off of him so he can pull out and the second he drops his legs he flops down in a nearby chair "next time we should do that on something more stable we've managed to scrape up the floor" he says looking down at the floor. Frank lays down on the table and laughs "I'll get it fixed and we can get something to put on the bottom of the table because that has got to be one of the best things ever" he says. Gerard's looks up at Frank and frowns "I'm sorry you feel less important than my work, I didn't mean to be more distracted with work as of late but it's just the routine i've gotten into".Frank pushes himself up and smiles reaching his arms out and Gerard walks up to him wrapping his arms around Frank "apology accepted as long as you can take like a few seconds out of the day to text me so i know that you're okay and whats going on okay?". Gerard nods "absolutely i promise i will" he says and kisses Frank, he reaches down and grabs Franks cock and he pulls back "you fucking fiend, we are not going again"Gerard grins and picks Frank up carrying him into the bathroom and against what he says he winds up on his knees with Gerard's cock shoved down his throat as soon as they get in the shower. Frank jerks himself off during the process and comes with the taste of Gerard's come on his tongue.Frank makes the executive decision that as soon as they manage to get clean that they are getting out of the shower because they don't need to make up all the sex they've missed in one day. Gerard pouts at him but Frank manages to get him to agree that sleep is what they both need and Frank has to go to work in the morning.When he gets to work Jeremy points out that Franks in a good mood and he starts throwing things at him after he points it out for the third time. Shannon seems happy the entire day and that might have to do with him not snapping at her at all throughout his shift.
